"My films aspire to the condition of documentary. If you're a newsreel cameraman and you go and shoot a real event, you know that a world exists whether you film it or not. What I want to do is create a world with that kind of solidity to it, something so three-dimensional and solid you could cut it with a knife." - Mike Leigh.

One of Britain's most acclaimed and revered directors, Mike Leigh has made his mark with his depictions of the real-life dramas inherent in the day-to-day lives of regular people. Leigh is renowned for making films that shy away from Hollywood-style mawkish sentimentality and instead offer a more levelheaded approach.

Happy-Go-Lucky is set in contemporary London and follows the adventures of primary school teacher Poppy (Sally Hawkins). A free spirit, she is open and generous, as funny and anarchic as she is focused and responsible.

'A Mike Leigh Gem!'
